noun
foolish or untrue words or ideas
(SOURCE- http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hokum)
While reading the ‘City Limits’ the word caught my attention. “History books and public television documentaries are always trying to tell you all sort of ‘facts’ about New York….It’s all hokum.”
By the word the writer meant that all the facts are made up. They are not what represents this city.
